Matches played: 60.
Matches won: 30% of 60 => (60*(30/100)) = 18 matches.
Iterative approach:
On adding 1 to matches played and matches won, on every iteration until the win percentage gets to 50. So
19 / 61 = 0.3114754098360656
20 / 62 = 0.3225806451612903
21 / 63 = 0.3333333333333333
22 / 64 = 0.34375

…
Similarly,
41 / 83 = 0.4939759036144578
42 / 84 = 0.5
So, after 60th match 24 more matches has to be played and won to get 50% average winning rate.
% error= (new no-actual no)/actual no *100
% error= [(x/7)-7x]/7x * 100
% error= 48x/49x * 100
% error= 0.9795*100=97.95
Let’s assume the length of each train is ‘L’ and the speeds of the two trains are ‘V₁’ and ‘V₂’ respectively.
When the trains are moving in the opposite direction, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. The total distance they need to cover is the sum of their lengths. Since they cross each other completely in 5 seconds, we can set up the following equation:
(V₁ + V₂) × 5 = 2L
When the trains are moving in the same direction, their relative speed is the difference between their individual speeds. The total distance they need to cover is the difference between their lengths. Since they cross each other completely in 15 seconds, we can set up the following equation:
(V₁ – V₂) × 15 = 2L
Now, let’s solve these equations to find the ratio of their speeds.
From the first equation, we have:
(V₁ + V₂) × 5 = 2L
V₁ + V₂ = (2L) / 5
From the second equation, we have:
(V₁ – V₂) × 15 = 2L
V₁ – V₂ = (2L) / 15
Let’s add these two equations together:
V₁ + V₂ + V₁ – V₂ = (2L) / 5 + (2L) / 15
2V₁ = (6L + 2L) / 15
2V₁ = (8L) / 15
V₁ = (4L) / 15
So, the speed of the first train is (4L) / 15.
Now, let’s substitute this value back into the first equation to find V₂:
(4L) / 15 + V₂ = (2L) / 5
V₂ = (2L) / 5 – (4L) / 15
V₂ = (6L – 4L) / 15
V₂ = (2L) / 15
Therefore, the speed of the second train is (2L) / 15.
The ratio of their speeds is given by:
(V₁ / V₂) = ((4L) / 15) / ((2L) / 15)
(V₁ / V₂) = 4L / 2L
(V₁ / V₂) = 2
So, the ratio of their speeds is 2:1.
cost price(c.p) of one fruit = 24/16
(c.p) = Rs 1.50
selling price(s.p) of one fruit = 18/8
(s.p) =Rs 2.25
profit for one fruit = 2.25 – 1.50 = 0.75

let the no be x
then given that the difference between the number and 3/5th
of the number is 50
therefor , x-3/5x=50
2x=250
x=125 is the answer
40
Let ‘N’ is the smallest number which divided by 13 and 16 leaves respective remainders of 2 and 5.
Required number = (LCM of 13 and 16) – (common difference of divisors and remainders)
= (208) – (11) = 197.
Since the car has met the person 20 minutes beforehand, it has saved 10 mins of a journey
A man has started 1.30 hrs before and the car has met him 10 mins before the actual time, he takes to reach daily is 1hr and 20 mins
C. Rs. 6000
France — D
A’s speed=6 mph ,B’s speed=8 mph
Let, after x hrs, they will meet.
so, the distance traveled by A in x hrs should be the same as the distance traveled by B in (x-1/2)hrs [as B started the journey after 30 min of A]
Thus, 6x=8(x-1/2)[as distance=speed*time]
=>8x-6x=4
=>2x=4
=>x=2
after 2 hrs they will meet so time=(9+2)=11.00 a.m
